In its most basic form, RISC-V is an open standard instruction set architecture (ISA) based on reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design principles. RISC-V is an open specification and platform; it is not an open-source processor. All other aspects of the RISC-V ecosystem build on that foundation. The hardware and software in the RISC-V ecosystem […]

Automotive embedded flash added to 180 nm high-voltage CMOS technology line
X-FAB Silicon Foundries has introduced a new Flash memory capability for its XP018 high-voltage automotive process. This new Flash IP leverages X-FAB’s already widely proven Silicon Oxide Nitride Oxide Silicon (SONOS) technology, which offers a combination of elevated levels of performance and best-in-class reliability. Fully compliant with stringent AEC100-grade 0 automotive specification, it can withstand […]
RISC-V vs. ARM vs. x86 – What’s the difference?
Many of the differences between RISC-V, ARM, and x86 microprocessors are subtle and relate to how memory is addressed, branches are executed, exceptions are handled, and so on. This article will consider higher-level differences and will briefly compare reduced instruction set computing (RISC) and complex instruction set computing (CISC), consider the impact those differences have […]
Embedded file system to work with PSoC 6 hardware platform
Cypress has extended its licensing for SEGGER’s emFile embedded file system to its latest hardware platform PSoC 6.
